    Well it's it's only a matter of time before the bigs weigh in on this but i'd wager it's gone for good.

    Like I said to Andy a little while ago, I cruise a lot of forums where the flaming assholes have maxed rep points, whereas a lot of the good time posters have nil. It's a system too easily abused.

    PLEASE, do not bring the rep system back. That thing was a headache, especially when the assholes were trolling the forums.

    This whole rep thing must have been way before my time. Sounds like it didn't work out too well. Ahh well. . .

    Here was my first ever comment on the reputation system:-

    The other thing is usually (IMHO) reputation is a reward for advice. eg: On a technical forum if someone had clearly spent time looking into something for you and given you a nice clear reply even with example code, you'd give them some reputation points as a thank you...

    On the forums here, it's hard to see how "reputation" could be used as such a reward? Has anyone seen it used on forums like these, and not on "technical" subject discussions?

    We most certainly do not want it back...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    well, i resurrected this thread to see what we all thought about the rep system now that we are a few years down the road. as i expected, nobody wants it to come back. i know that i certainly don't ever want to see it again but i wanted to hear from some other folks.

    i agree with the rest of you, the rep system needs to continue to sleep with the fishes in a set of nice fitting concrete shoes.
